The hidden rule when you read the first word and punctuation of each line: "NEVER enter the house. Every rule wrong! Only run. Leave. Depart!"
It's really the only rule I advise anyone thinking of coming to Kilgore Court to follow...

I suspect most people, if they met their younger selves, would give them a knock upside the head if they could...

My understanding of "every rule wrong" is that he meant "wrong" not in the sense of "incorrect" but in the sense of, "wrong by their very existence." Wrong like how the gardener is wrong. It just shouldn't be in our world, and is an abomination even if you never look at it. But I agree it is a confusing wording. I think he was simply trying to scare people away.
Also, I may not have written this clearly enough. My face still hurts and the painkillers probably affected my clarity in completing this. Especially since I started this post such a very, very long time ago (days for you, a century for me). Maybe I should have added an endnote or something, but I am both Pim Perrin and Sam Miller. I pulled my (younger) self out of the bone closet. 26 year old me started this account and 126 year old me finished it. My face hurts very much right now...

As far as I can tell from the CCTV, it's a different driver every time. And yes, it drives me crazy. Sometimes they try really hard, ringing the bell for several minutes. I also wonder what I would do if a fourth delivery attempt occurred, but that has not happened.

I have found Pim's explanations to be... dissatisfying. But since posting this there have been no more incidents so far. I spend most of my work hours drinking coffee and reading.

It's a temp position, so only three weeks. I'm actually required to leave each day, because apparently the rules are different at night. I forgot to include my hours in the post: 8am-3pm, though I'm allowed to take off early if I finish my tasks (but I prefer to stick to the schedule).

I don't... I'm not sure honestly. In my notes I wrote "puddle by the wall." But in my memory... I think reading her notes influenced me. Haven't been back to check.

Hey, Ryan here. Gregory was a tenant who lived in 408. We're not sure exactly when he died... end of September or beginning of October. Susan made a call to maintenance on Oct 11, but Manny was on another call, so apparently she went into the unit herself and found the body. Not a surprise he died. He was old. But what's creepy is how she described his body is almost exactly how she looked when I found her last week. She looked like... I mean, it's like she just sat in the chair and didn't move. Just sat until she starved to death.

My boss manages a bunch of properties. This one is the oldest with the most problems and it always falls to me. Manny was great at taking care of any issues, but he suddenly quit earlier this month...

I'm Ryan, the assistant manager. I was the one who came out the first time when I guess Susan spilled water under the door. I also answer the phones in our office. A couple of residents called in today. Complained about noises in the basement. Manny quit in early January, and we don't have a replacement. I called to ask if he'd consider coming back in, but he hasn't gotten back to me. I really don't want to follow up on these complaints...

You're absolutely right that I'm responsible for her death. Not that it absolves me in any way, but I spent years dedicating myself to finding a way to save my sister... the gardener? Also me. The result of my failed attempts.
I never did find a way that didn't have a higher cost than what happened...
